Following the launch of all-new upgrades to the RANGER Nordic Pro platform earlier this year, Polaris Off Road, the world leader in powersports and off-road innovation, has announced its complete 2026 off-road vehicle lineup with the introduction of all-new 2-up Sportsman models, designed to allow riders to share the journey like never before.
Available across both the Sportsman 570 and XP 1000 S platforms, the new 2-up configuration provides comfortable seating for two riders, opening up fresh possibilities for adventure and utility in a single, versatile package.
“The introduction of the new Sportsman 2-up models is a major milestone for our ATV lineup, offering riders more choice and more ways to ride,” said Rodrigo Lourenco, Vice President Off Road Vehicles Sales, EMEA.
“We know our customers want vehicles that adapt to their lifestyles, whether that means working smarter or enjoying the outdoors together. We listen to our riders and give them exactly what they need.”
This year also marks the 40th anniversary of Polaris ATVs, the first American-engineered ATVs originally introduced to the off-road market in 1985. To celebrate this milestone, Polaris introduces the Sportsman XP 1000 S 40th Anniversary Edition, paying homage to the brand’s commitment to innovation and American heritage.
Beyond the Sportsman lineup, Polaris also delivers performance and styling upgrades across its GENERAL and RANGER CREW platforms for 2026. This includes fresh new colourways and confidence-inspiring performance refinements that keep Polaris vehicles at the forefront of off-road capability, style and rider comfort.
The Sportsman 570, Polaris’ bestselling ATV, sees two new 2-Up models added to its 2026 lineup, which are designed specifically to meet rider demands in the European market. Available in Sage Green (Sportsman 570 EPS) and Onyx Black (Sportsman 570 EPS Black Edition), the 570 2-Up comes complete with a passenger-first design, featuring a premium and removable passenger seat with a backrest for ultimate comfort, allowing for passenger riding whilst also quickly and easily being converted to a standard single-passenger unit for unlimited versatility and agility.
The 570 Hunter and Black Editions now come with an increased-capacity 1,588kg winch fitted as standard on both the 1-up and 2-up models offered in the lineup to help riders stay ahead of the unexpected. The Polaris Engineered heavy-duty winch comes with a 15.2m premium synthetic rope that’s lightweight, easy to handle and built with extreme durability to stand up to any job.
Other updates across the Sportsman 570 lineup include the new Ghost Grey colourway introduced to the base Sportsman 570 and EPS model, as well as the introduction of turf mode to the Sportsman 570 EPS Deluxe, Sportsman 570 EPS SP and Sportsman 570 EPS SP Öhlins Edition models. The Sportsman Touring 570 is offered in two new colours for 2026: Ghost Grey (EPS) and Heavy Metal Gloss (EPS SP). All models see quality and performance enhancements, including improved steering rigidity.
The Sportsman XP 1000 S platform is Polaris’ top-spec ATV, delivering huge off-road capability with its powerful 952cc ProStar twin-cylinder engine and superior stability. For 2026, Polaris unveils the new Sportsman XP 1000 S 2-Up in new Super Graphite colourway with lime accents. This model features the same limitless versatility of the 570 2-up, including a quick-release, removable passenger seat that offers next-level comfort for both rider and passenger. From tackling trails to completing tasks together, the Sportsman XP 1000 S 2-up model delivers the freedom to take someone along for the ride without compromising on power, comfort or capability.
The Sportsman XP 1000 S 40th Anniversary Edition is a limited release that embodies the spirit of adventure and excellence. The edition offers a unique blend of nostalgia and modern design, with exclusive 90s-inspired graphics that celebrate its heritage, set upon the top-of-the-range 2026 Sportsman XP 1000 S model that features modern technology like multi-select electronic power steering (EPS) for less rider fatigue, turf mode for gentler riding, on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) for extra traction when it is needed most, as well as an engine braking system (EBS) and active descent control (ADC) for a more confident ride.
2026 brings new updates to the Scrambler XP 1000 S model, now featuring LED headlights, Walker Evans three-way adjustable shocks and the striking new Matte Cascades Green colourway.
